Worked exampleWe built this to show what a campaign looks like from start to finish. The organisations in it are made up, and nobody is collecting your answers for a decision. The amount it says it pays is part of the example. Nobody gets paid for answering it.

Kellerton Shire Council~6 min

How should young people actually get a say at council?

Council is choosing how young people get a say for the next four-year term. What the model is for, and whether taking part is paid, are both on the table.

What you can change

  1. 01Which model council adopts for the next four-year term
  2. 02What young people's influence at council is supposed to achieve, which is what the model gets judged against
  3. 03Whether whoever takes part is paid for their time

What Kellerton Shire Council has already decided

  • That council makes the final decisions. Nothing here delegates one to young people.
  • That anyone on a formal council body meets its code of conduct and conflict rules.
  • The $28,000 a year the current committee costs — the budget for whatever replaces it.
  • That the model is in place before the new council term in July 2027.

What you'll do

  1. 1Spend 3 votes across 8 options — not enough for everything
  2. 2A few quick questions about you
  3. 3Choose between two options that can't both happen, and say why
  4. 4Check what you said, then send it

Timeline and impact

  • You hear back by 4 December 2026
  • Part of ongoing work. This is paid for from the ongoing budget — regular work, not a special project — and it's happening. How the money is spent isn't what you're being asked about.
Who this is for

People aged 15 to 24 in Kellerton Shire. Especially people who have never been on the committee and would not apply. Asking only the committee can only tell you about the committee.
